Former Texas A&M biology professor Peter Rizzo, musically known as "Sneaky Pete," has returned to Texas A&M University for a June 19 performance at Hastings. When he retired from A&M and moved to Maryville, Tenn., he gave a couple of "goodbye" performances, but said he found it hard to stay away. His daughter, Autumn, transferred to Texas A&M from Ithaca College. He will be visiting College Station during breaks to visit with her and do a few musical performances.
"Just when they thought the streets were safe, the Sneak returns," Rizzo said.
Rizzo will be back to do at least an annual performance. He said when he did his performances in the spring, he was very pleased with the turn out and he was reunited with people he hadn't seen in decades. He would like to continue to see those kinds of turnouts to keep in touch with his Texas friends and fans.
"This is my coming back concert - the return of the sneak," he said. "But I will at least be back off and on until Autumn graduates."
He said there is not much of a music scene in Maryville so he will enjoy coming back to College Station to perform. His past CDs are available at Hastings.
"It's great being back here," he said.
